Neurodivergent founders can’t tell who’s safe, and the businesses that are can’t prove it.

So people find out the hard way, or stop trying.

They avoid the coworking space, skip the event, put off finding the accountant.

And the businesses who’d genuinely look after them never get the chance.

What the Mark is

The Brain First Mark is a way to connect neurodivergent founders with the businesses that genuinely work for their brains. It’s independently assessed against our five Brain First principles, and renewed every year.

Who it’s for

Coworking spaces, agencies, software, accountants, lawyers, coaches, venues: the businesses neurodivergent founders and leaders work with every day.
